NUXE Instinctive Beauty (+win!)

These days the media shows off so much artificial beauty that you sometimes feel like your natural face just doesn’t fit in anymore. Luckily there are still people and brands left that are striving for more diversity, more honesty and more natural beauty.

French skincare brand NUXE presents a liberating vision in which women reconnect with their inner nature. With the Instinctive Beauty campaign they want to encourage women to feel beautiful without having to rely on artificial intervention. To celebrate this vision, NUXE asked choreographer and movement coach Benjamin Millepied to create his first film about Instinctive Beauty. You can find the powerful, sensual and stimulating video right here!

NUXE invited me to share my own interpretation of Instinctive Beauty as well; a challenge that I happily accepted. For me instinctive beauty really comes to life when traveling. On holidays you’re liberated from certain beauty standards of society like wearing extra make-up or complying to a certain dresscode: you can just carelessly be yourself in a foreign country with your favourite people around. The only thing you need to feel beautiful, is a touch of sunshine on a radiant skin.

Result? I left most of my make-up at home and took the NUXE new formula Huile Prodigieuse and Crème Fraiche de Beauté hydrating cream with me to Denmark! On the peninsula of Møn we witnessed nature’s incredible beauty and for a moment we even felt like the only people in the world. The perfect time to show you guys that traveling is my way to happiness, and that happiness instantly creates beauty.

WIN!

Oh, and I have some really great news for you too… If you want to feel that careless and instinctive holiday vibe throughout the rest of the year, you can now add the new formula Huile Prodigieuse and Crème Fraiche de Beauté hydrating cream to your own beauty cabinet!

I like the authenticity of Nuxe, as a brand. In the film of Benjamin Millepied, I really enjoyed the part where the sort of golden veil radiates the energy and happiness of the women dancing her way down the stairs. Nicely done!

Oh I love this. I love your sweater, I think the color looks so good on you!! I did not no Nuxe before I saw this post of you, but It seems like a beautiful brand with great products. I would love to try some of them! My favorite part of the video is when she kind off throws away the golden thingie behind her and they turn into flowers. It feels really powerfull and soft at the same time!

The part where she seems to be waken up by the warmth of the sun which feels as a blanket of radiance on her skin and face. That feeling is the exact feeling you should be waken up by on holiday; careless and warm: enjoying the sleep-drunken feeling you have the moment you are slowly awakening without any pressure to get up. This careless, warmth and authentic feeling is the feeling I get from the whole movie. I am impatient to get this careless holiday feeling again as this summer break is coming to an end for me…

My favorite scene(s) are when she is dancing/jumping in little circles and you can see how happy she is. I like this scene because I do the same when I’m feeling happy :-)! I also loooove how her hair leaves these little sparkles of beauty, I’m sold!

What a beautiful video! My favourite part is at the beginning of the film, when she so elegantly lifts her body off the floor. I’ve always loved that move. Must be my dance background speaking.
Also love the scenery in your pictures. It’s perfect for this post. x

The part where she dances in the halls in the sun. For me its stands for freedom en its also gives chill vibes to the video. The glow that comes from her is so beautiful, its like Some special energy is coming from her. Its realy gorgeous video. I love the products from Nuxe.

My favourite part is right when she rises up from the ground in the beginning, it looks so effortless and controlled at the same time.

The last moment she pushes her golden glow away and it turns into flowers. It feels so powerfull and soft at the same time. Those are my favorite imagery of the film.

Also, love the vibes from your photos! The purple sweater and grey hues of Denmark are stunning

My favorite moment from a short clip is definitely a pure dance of a free girl who wants to get away from everything that surrounds her. (petabr2@centrum.cz)

Hope I am not to late but the way she moves and how the gold sparkles surround her are just beautifully done. A closer look shows you that it’s the flower scent of Nuxe that surrounds her. Gorgeous and very serene <3helloboontje@hotmail.com
